Starting Techs: Trapping, Administration, Military Drill.Starting Leader: Ashurbanipal (an Educated Zealot).If your chosen Nation has a UU with that requirement, then you’ll either need that resource inside the borders of the city you want to build the UU in, or you’ll need access to the Riders family (Rider family seatcan build UUs without access to the resource in question). To build the stronger of your UUs, you need a city with at least Strong Culture and you need to build a Citadel, which requires that you have at least seven laws enacted.Īlso note that some UUs require horses or elephants to build. One lawis all that is needed to to build a Garrison, and four are required to build a Stronghold. The availability of these improvements are dependent on the number of Laws you have enacted. To build the lesser of your UUs, you need a city with at least.ĭeveloping Culture and you need to build a Stronghold in that city (which first requires building a Garrison). If you’re perplexed about how you actually build your Nation’s unique units, you’re not alone. Here’s an overview of the nations you can play. You get to pick any threeof these vassal families, combining the family bonuses in different ways to create a Nation that’s unique to your game, and ideally suited to how you play. You’re the King(or Queen), yes, but your rule is not absolute, or absolutely certain.Įach Nation you can select to play is made up of four noble families (vassal families), each with their own abilities and interests that stack with your overarching, Nation-specificabilities. It’s an important part of how you create the living history of the Nation you’re playing.Īlso note that Nations in Old World specifically aren’t monolithic entities. That’s how you create and build upon your legacy. Securing an heir by some means or another is of vital importance from one generation to the next. With that in mind, you’ll need to get married and have kids, or adopt someone, and you’ll need to do that sooner, rather than later. Yes, each Nation has a set of unique abilities, Pagan shrines, and two Unique Units, but the leader your chosen Nation starts with will inevitably die of old age long before the game ends, and if you haven’t produced an heir by the time that happens, that’s it. You have the same leader from start to finish. Each Civ has unique traits and a leader who is immortal. In other 4x games, Civs are generally monolithic entities. One of the major difference between Old World and other 4x games has to do with whatever civilization you choose to play. Ultimate Guide to Nations The Nations Themselves
